Comments:
Fingerboard and tailpiece with wide ivory strip at bridge ends, tailpiece with large, round “baseball” ornament also on Yale and ex-Dolmetsch pardessus by Feyzeau. Head missing, freshly cut off the presumably original pegbox; 5 pegs also present. Description on eBay.fr, (seen 10/11/15, with listing or sale date identified as “il y a 2 semaines” and place as “Bordeaux 33, France”): “Exceptionnel pardessus de viole par le luthier Feyzeau à Bordeaux au 18e siècle, marqué au fer Feyzeau, étiquette intérieure, dans l’état, à restaurer ou à garder tel. Une clé cassée, les 5 autres complètes, manche anciennement cassé et réparé, entièrement d’origine, très beau, vers 1750.” [Is label therefore undated?]
